The Run Down
What’s the point of this incentive?
As Victorians struggle through ongoing cost-of-living pressures, every dollar really does count.
To help combat this, the Victorian Government will again run the $250 Power Saving Bonus in 2023 to help ease financial pressures and encourage Victorians to compare energy offers to see if they can find a better deal and potentially save some money.1Victorian Energy Compare, Victorian State Government, $250 Power Savings Bonus
